The occurrence of newly emerging contaminants such as estrogens in water environment has the potential negative effects to human health as well as the surrounding wildlife. This demands efficient approaches for their removals from the water environment. Among all feasible solutions, biodegradation shows promising prospects to remediate estrogens fr...

In this study, we have successfully synthesized magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), functionalised them by silanization and used them for the covalent immobilization of a recombinant small laccase (rSLAC) from Streptomyces coelicolor. The immobilized recombinant laccase (MNP-rSLAC) was subsequently used for the treatment of phenol, 4-chlorophenol (4-CP)...

In recent times, there is increased public interest and indeed strong movement against the use of Bisphenol A (4,4ʹ-(propane-2,2,-diphenol)) due to its endocrine disrupting properties. In the present study, biotransformation of Bisphenol A (BPA) was accomplished using Trametes versicolor laccase (E.C. 1.10.3.2) enzyme. The enzyme was entrapped in r...

Triclosan (TCS) and propranolol (PRO) are emerging micropollutants that are difficult to remove in wastewater treatment plants. In this study, methanogenic potential (P) of anaerobic sludge submitted to TCS (3.6 ± 0.1 to 15.5 ± 0.1 mg L-1) and PRO (6.1 ± 0.1 to 55.9 ± 1.2 mg L-1) in sanitary sewage, was investigated in batch reactors. The use of co...

A feasibility study was performed to assess the potential of microbially induced desaturation and precipitation (MIDP) through denitrification to reduce the risk of earthquake-induced liquefaction and improve the resilience of embankments along the lower Fraser River in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. The denitrification process produces nitrog...

In this study, we investigated the morphological, genomic and bioaccumulation characteristics of two isolated Haematococcus strains (namely Goyang and Sogang), which were newly discovered in South Korea. Morphological analysis revealed that the isolated strains were unicellular and bi-flagellated green microalgae that formed thickened walls at the ...

Petroleum contamination of marine environments due to exploitation and accidental spills causes serious harm to ecosystems. Bioremediation with immobilized microorganisms is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective emerging technology for treating oil-polluted environments. In this study, Bacillus licheniformis was entrapped in Ca alginate be...

The marine bacterium Pseudomonas furukawaii PPS-19 isolated from the oil-polluted site of Paradip port, Odisha, India, was found to form a strong biofilm in 2% (v/v) crude oil. Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) revealed biofilm components along with multi-layered dense biofilm of rod-shaped cells with 64.7 µm thickness. Scanning electron mi...

Increasing soil loss and the scarcity of useful land requires new reusing strategies. Thus, recovery of polluted soils recovery offers a chance for economic and social regeneration. With this objective, different soil cleaning technologies have been developed during the last few decades. On one hand, classical physical and/or chemical technologies ...

The main objective of this work is to use soybean hull (SBH) waste as an adsorbent for the removal of two industrial textile dyes: Reactive Blue 21 (RB21) and Reactive Yellow 145 (RY145). Physical characterization of SBH and kinetic and equilibrium experiments were performed to determine the adsorption conditions. The best adsorption condition was ...
